Do women not have hair loss?

Female hair loss

Let me explain crown-area hair loss, which many women worry about.

Many people think that most women do not have hair loss.

But the fact is that women can also experience hair loss!

If we look at the ratio of men and women with hair loss at Imiseok The Theme Dermatology, it is 1:1.

People also tend to think that hair loss mainly affects older people,

but hair loss occurs not only in older adults but also often in younger people.

In women, complete baldness is rare.

Because of that, it seems people usually think women do not have hair loss.

In men, hair loss can lead to baldness, whereas

women still keep their hairline, so even if hair is falling out, they may think, 'It does not look like I have lost much overall.'

But if you look closely, the hair starts to thin, the scalp at the crown becomes visible,

and the remaining hair becomes sparse, making it look like a Christmas tree.

If you get tested at a clinic, you can see that the hair has become thinner, the number of hairs has decreased, and the hair has lost its strength, so it looks flat and collapsed.

Can women also develop hair loss, or should they just leave it alone?

Women can also treat hair loss.

People usually think women do not have male hormones, but women do have a certain amount of male hormones as well.

Then when does female hair loss start?

Hair loss begins during the period when female hormones decrease, during female menopause.

So women who genetically carry a hair loss gene may shed hair somewhat even in everyday life, and then lose even more during menopause.

Then if you have a hair loss gene, will hair loss occur?

Not everyone with a hair loss gene will necessarily develop hair loss.

Hair loss progresses in people who inherit the gene and in whom that gene is expressed.

If your hair volume has decreased and your scalp has started to look sparse, you should suspect hair loss.

What are the methods for treating hair loss?

In the past, most hair loss treatments were oral medications and topical applications, but now there are many more treatment options.

For women of childbearing age, treatment with oral medication can have a negative effect on the fetus.

However, the half-life of most hair loss medications, or the period during which they can act in the body, is very short, so they do not last long.

A treatment you can use at home for hair loss is a topical hair loss medication.

It is also called 'minoxidil,' and it may be sold under a product name such as 'Roganic.'

When applied, it is said to help not only men but also women.

However, topical medication can cause hypertrichosis, and if hypertrichosis occurs, it improves when you stop the medication,

and even if it happens, you can remove the unwanted hair, so there is no need to worry too much.

Does using hair loss shampoo make hair grow back?

There are ads saying that if you use shampoo and rinse products, hair will start growing.

It may help to some extent by improving scalp and hair health,

but there is no medical evidence for it.

What hair loss treatments are available at a clinic?

The most commonly used treatment at clinics is something called 'perifollicular injections.'

Perifollicular injections deliver ingredients that help hair grow.

There are various ingredients, and by selecting ingredients suitable for the patient and injecting them into the area that needs treatment,

you can see very significant effects.

There is also a treatment called 'PRP,' which uses your own blood.

PRP treatment uses platelets extracted from the blood that contain growth factors.

If your hair looks thin and you are losing a lot of hair, suspect hair loss and visit a specialized hair loss clinic. Consult with a specialist about your hair and scalp symptoms, receive an examination, and get treatment appropriate for the stage of hair loss.
